I saw on Tiler Peck's insta that she's only doing 2 Dewdrops and 1 Sugarplum all season. I know they allow principals to guest, but shouldn't thee first duty be to the company?

Interesting that Sean Suozzi is no longer with the company but still doing character parts in Nutcracker

Abi Stafford's departure from NYCB
cassieallison replied to nanushka's topic in New York City Ballet
My biggest things is that she was turning down roles, but complaining about a lack of opportunities. Beggers can't be choosers. If you want to be choosy with what you dance you can't expect to be dancing every night -

Does anyone know what Gonzalo is doing next? I saw in several IG posts of dancers saying that they would see him in class. Is he becoming a rep director? -

I assume they want more than 2 seasons under his belt before promotion but I would expect it in the next year if he keeps up his current quality -

I feel like we haven't seen suozzi on the cast list in forever -

Megan and Robbie Fairchild were both principals -
Phelan seems destined for a Swan Lake Debut
-
I wonder if do to COVID not as many of the tenured principals are guesting and are taking up more casting spots at the top. Hopefully we will see some new blood in the later week, but I feel like they were all cast a lot less is past years. I imagine due to tenure they could request time for guesting, if feels like Megan Fairchild is on almost every night this year

this is terrible, Ashley's is such a talent. but I feared this would happen with dancers who took too much time off during quarantine and spun up too fast. their bodies aren't used to that whiplash. speedy recovery to Ashley, I hope to see her soon!
-
I noticed they were working together a lot, but didn't know they were dating. especially since she seemed to get her hear broken with her last boyfriend who she worked on the house with. I wish her the best and hope she can continue to perform what suits her

makes me wonder why they decided to debut Lovette in Western Symphony when she had few performances before retirement

Lauren Lovette leaving City Ballet
cassieallison replied to bellawood's topic in New York City Ballet
I seem to recall she had a relatively light workload compared to the other female principles -
NYCB cancels Fall 2020 and Nutcracker seasons
cassieallison replied to nanushka's topic in New York City Ballet
Netflix used to have the Macauley Culkin Nutcracker with Wendy as Coffee. Is that not on there any more? -
Anyone else watch her interview with Lauren Lovette? Based on her comments I wouldn't be shocked if Lovette does not return to dancing.
-
I know a lot of people look down on her for her social media presence, but Syklar Brandt has put in the work on major full length roles
-
As someone who can rarely get to NYC I have LOVED all the digital programming, but would definitely like to see whole pieces. For instance Diamonds last year took my breath away I can't remember how many times I watched it. IF it was only presented in excerpts it wouldn't have been able to truly appreciate it. My local company tries to do Balanchine, but it leaves me just wanting to see more NYCB. Agree with everyone on promotions, I feel like there hasn't been much movement with the new regime.

I don't know if any of you are watching Vail's virtual festival this coming week, but I really enjoyed Opening Night. I was especially taken with Unity Phelan in Apollo with ABT's Calvin Royal.

hopefully we will get several casts of nutcracker -
I believe I saw on Indiana Woodward's instagram that he is injured
-
Sara Mearns was on the latest With Dance and Stuff podcast and they have a really interesting conversation about why she gave up Lilac Fairy. If you just want to listen to Sara you can skip ahead to 13:46

I understand where Ashley can come off as self important in the article, but I also applaud her for speaking out. If she hadn't then we would not know how much of an influence Martins still holds. I find it appalling that he was able to behave this way considering the reasons for his exit. I place that blame solely at the foot of the board who still seem to hold him in greater esteem than the dancers. I think it is fair for her to criticize why she was switched cast if it was truly done at the last minute. Maybe bringing to light these issues will speed along the reform that needs to happen and finally have them decide on an AD. As she said in one of her posts about the Waterbury incident, these things have festered in their leaderless state. NYCB needs to get their act together, while the performance on stage seems to still be strong that may not continue without a strong foundation. Also I am so happy to hear about Woodward's debut, I hope this heralds a promotion to principle.
